In 1946, Congress passed a law that gave hospitals, nursing homes and other health facilities grants and loans for construction and modernization. In return, they agreed to provide a reasonable volume of services to persons unable to pay and to make their services available to all persons residing in the facility’s area. The program stopped providing funds in 1997, but about 300 health care facilities nationwide are still obligated to provide free or reduced-cost care.

Hi there, insurance for an entire family can be hard to afford. I'm in Florida and you and your family can have access to health benefits for under $50 a month. There's also a hospital advocacy program included. I have it myself and there's no waiting period or limits and they even have a 30-day money back guarantee. Check what providers are in your area http://www.Youdeservehealthcare.com

It can also work with your HSA (health savings/spending account).

Good luck on your search.

Did not there was a difference in what state you live. There is a difference for city VS. Country. its stupid but. its about $180 to $200 for individual with blue cross blue shield last time i checked. I was told that it is individual for each person in your family. would be different if you were purchasing for a business. Now In maryland the state offers insurance to anyone under 18 that is unsured. check with your state wedsite to see if your state does the same. Its good insurance. Its very hard on you when you don't get insurance with your job, but its so costly when you have to buy for yourself. i hope i helped a little

Choosing health benefits may be one of the most important decisions you make every year. Even if you believe that you understand health insurance. Specific health care benefits may vary by state. Even within the same state, there can be small differences between health insurance plans. When you fill out your application and compare plans, you’ll see the specific health care benefits each plan offers.
